I'd like to thank this lady. Reform would be nowhere at all without people as unutterably stupid as her.

Watching BBC News eulogising Sir Keith Starmer, as it appears he may stand down, is sickening given how gleefully many of its political commentators have sought to discredit and undermine and lie about his leadership up to now. #BBC

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow
Photo of a small group of mostly men wearing black, with masks and balaclavas, surrounded by a Police Scotland cordon in the bottom of the photo, in the foreground. In the background, a very large colourful crowd of people with saltires, trade union banners, and hand-made signs in support of migrants and against racism have turned up to gather to show solidarity, and the far right guys were hoping to thwart that. They didn't.

Absolutely huge crowds in Belfast to reject the far-right, paramilitarism, racism and border violence. A loud message to the politicians who pandered to violent paramilitary groups this week

😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾 TWO things i found on Threads that made me stop and think. 1. Confirmation that the media is biased against Labour and are working actively to bring it and SKS down 2. No surprise. Now imagine how Farage, the media darling, or any of his scummy crew would fare.

Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170M building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night. Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.
